Phoenix Raceway NASCAR packages
Racing in the Heart of the Desert
Tucked into the foothills of the Estrella Mountains, Phoenix Raceway delivers high-speed NASCAR action with a distinctly relaxed southwest feel. When you book Phoenix NASCAR Packages with RaceAway Hospitality, you’ll experience a setting unlike anywhere else on the circuit. The track is framed by rugged mountain peaks, dotted with towering cacti, and bathed in warm Arizona sunshine under endless blue skies. This intimate, scenic venue brings fans closer to the action while surrounding them with the beauty of the Sonoran Desert. From sunrise over the desert to the roar of engines at green flag, every moment here is unforgettable.
A Fan-Friendly NASCAR Experience
Phoenix Raceway is designed with the fan experience in mind — and it shows. Its smaller, more intimate layout gives you a clear view of the entire track from nearly every seat, while its signature dogleg is one of the most unique corners in NASCAR. Drivers dive across the apron to make daring passes there, creating thrilling moments that you can see unfold in full view. Our Phoenix NASCAR Packages include select grandstand seats, upscale lodging at Embassy Suites Phoenix–Tempe, and hosted charter service to and from the raceway. We handle the details so you can focus on the racing, the views, and the atmosphere.
Choose Your Phoenix NASCAR Weekend
RaceAway Hospitality offers packages for both NASCAR Cup Series weekends at Phoenix Raceway — the spring race in March 2026 and the NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race in October 2026. Whether you want to kick off the season in warm desert weather or close out the year with an action-packed fall race weekend, our Phoenix NASCAR Packages deliver. Desert sun warms the track; the signature dogleg waits around the turn. RaceAway makes getting here effortless — tickets, lodging, and transport all included.
